according to a new report by the southern poverty law center, the crazies are on the rise. we now have more groups who believe that the federal government is conspiring to take american's guns and destroy their liberties as it paves the world for a global one world government. last year, the southern poverty law center counted 1,360 of these groups, an all-time high. only 149 existed when barack obama won the presidency in 2008. today, the southern poverty law center sent a letter to homeland security secretary janet napolitano and attorney general eric holder, warning that the gun control debate itself may lead to even more such groups. the furious reaction to the obama administration's gun control proposals is reminiscent of the anger that greeted the passage of the 1993 brady bill and the 1994 ban on assault weapons. now, in the wake of the mass murder of 26 children and adults at a connecticut school and the obama-led gun control efforts that followed, it seems likely that that growth will pick up speed once again. joining me now, the author of that new report, southern
